Sea cucumber experiences

[reefernc02]

Looking to add a Yellow Sea cucumber to my tank to clean the sand bed any experience with them?

EVILLLLLL

One got into my pump, shredded itself and killed everything but my eels.

I would try to go for the black one or the tiger tails.

The yellow ones are like the notorious sea apples and are filter feeders if we are talking about the same yellow ones.

Not as destructive but still can be.

The actual sand shifting ones for me don’t do much. The tiger tail especially just finds a crevice in a rock and barely moves

I’ve read posts of people being fine with their tiger tails dying on powerheads, but I guess it really depends
